A Perfect Murder
“A powerful husband. An unfaithful wife. A jealous lover. All of them have a motive. Each of them has a plan.”
Millionaire industrialist Steven Taylor is a man who has everything but what he craves most: the love and fidelity of his wife. A hugely successful player in the New York financial world, he considers her to be his most treasured acquisition. But she needs more than simply the role of dazzling accessory.
